specimens collected in western New York. This distinct looking 
tree is now known to occur in Ohio, Indiana, near Kingston, Ontario, 
at Keosauqua, Van Buren County, Iowa, and near Myers, Osage 
County, Oklahoma (G. W. Stevens, August 12, 1913, no. 2060). 
CARYA OVATA var. pubescens, n. var.—Differing from the type 
in the dense pubescence of pale fascicled hairs on the young branches 
and on the petioles, rachis, and under surface of the leaflets. 
_A slight pubescence is not unusual on the branchlets and leaves of C. ovaia, 
but this pubescence is sometimes so abundant on individual trees in the 
southern states that it seems desirable to give them varietal distinction. What 
I have taken as the type of this variety was collected on May 28, 1918, by 
T. G. Harbison on the bottom lands of the Savannah River at Calhoun Falls, 
Abbeville County, South Carolina (no. 53). It is a large tree with scaly bark 
and unusually slender branchlets. The buds are nearly fully grown and are 
acuminate with the outer scales thickly covered with fascicled hairs. Other 
specimens referred to this variety are C. S. Sargent, banks of Chattanooga 
Creek, Hamilton County, Tennessee; Valley Head, Dekalb County, Ala- 
bama, T. G. Harbison, January 26, 1912 (no. 54); C. Mohr, Columbus, Lowndes 
County, Mississippi, October 28, 1898; 7. G. Harbison, Starkville, Oktibbeha 
County, and Brookville, Noxubee County, Mississippi, May 3, 1915 (no. 17); 
October 8, 1915 (nos. 7a, 17a, 26). These trees have slender branchlets and 
small buds for the species with the exception of those of 17a from Brookville. 
The pubescence of this tree is rusty brown, but the fruit, which is subglobose 
and 4.5 cm. in diameter, with an involucre 1.2 cm. in thickness, is clearly that 
of C. ovata. 
7. CARYA CAROLINAE-SEPTENTRIONALIS Engl. and Graeb.— 
New stations for this species are Calhoun Falls, Abbeville County, 
South Carolina, Columbus, Lowndes County, and Brookville, 
Noxubee County, eastern Mississippi, and the neighborhood of 
Selma, Dallas County, Alabama. 
8. CARYA LACINIOSA Engl. and Graeb.—The range of this species 
has been extended to southwestern Ontario, to the valley of the 
Alabama River near Selma, Dallas County, Alabama, and to West 
Feliciana Parish, Louisiana (Cocks). 
g. CaRYA ALBA Nutt.—Although this species varies in the size 
and shape of the fruit and nuts, in the thickness of the branchlets, 
which are densely covered with fascicled hairs when they first 
appear, and are pubescent or glabrous in their first winter, and in 
the size of the winter-buds, which are obtuse or acute, it can always
